Runner-up Jonbon, ridden by Nico de Boinville and trained by Nicky Henderson, was bidding to make it three wins on the spin in the race.
Later in the day the Gold Cup, was won by Resplendent Grey ridden by British champion jockey Sean Bowen and trained by Olly Murphy. Resplendent Grey followed in the hoofsteps of Minella Cocooner who won the cup in 2024 with Danny Mullins on board. A win that saw Willie Mullins secure the title of British champion trainer, the first Irish-based trainer to win the title since Vincent O’Brien 70 years previously.
In 2023 Kitty’s Light achieved a rare double claiming the coveted Gold Cup just seven days after winning the Scottish Grand National. Ridden by Jack Tudor and trained by Christian Williams the chaser followed in the hoofsteps of Irish raider Hewick who won the race in 2022.
